Question

A male adult is admitted because of an acetaminophen overdose. after transfer to the mental health unit, the client is told he has liver damage. which information is most important for the nurse to include in the client's discharge plan?

Answer 1

This is a question from Mental Health HESI Quiz for nurses so the major problem with the client is his overdose of acetaminophen but a good doctor never prescribes medicines which could cause this overdose so it is surely due to some external agency therefore the thing should be necessarily included in discharge plan is to direct the patient to not take any over the counter medicines which could affect the effects of ongoing medication
